First off the pink ribbon is NOT that bright in real life. It's really shiny though so the camera just exaggerates it. I created a frame for Miss Odette with a couple of layers of chipboard that I painted with Picket Fence Crackle paint. After drying it was inked with Tattered Rose, Vintage Photo, and Walnut stain. I did the same on the corner deco. I used some embroidery thread to sew over the edges of the frame and then added brads where the ribbon tabs slide under it. For the butterflies I used a Vintage Photo Distress marker to go around all the edges and cutouts for some definition.
I've got tons of DT projects stacking up and little motivation so it's probably going to be rough around here for a while til I get back on track. Hope your craftiness it revved up and ready to go. Grab a Mo image and some ribbon and come join in this weeks challenge for your chance at a $5.00 Mo's gift voucher. Lots of new images in the store. :-)

Oh I love this Tracy! gorgeous tutu colouring and love the flwoers and butterflies!
So sorry to hear you're feeling down in the dumps, my friend! It sure doesn't show in your card, though. This is adorable! I really love the frame around that sweet image with the cross stitches and crackle finish. Lovely flowers and butterflies, too. :)
Oh what a sweet little ballerina girl! Your card is beautiful girl! Hugs Anneke
Hi, Tracy,
I love your card! I had to get a close up view just to pick up on all the fabulous detail included in your design. Your coloring is absolutely fabulous. Because your card incorporates Pink, I would love to see it entered in our Breast Cancer Awareness Challenge at http://jacksonsdigitalexpressions.blogspot.com We are donating $1.75 to Breast Cancer Research for every entry in our challenge this week. Hope to see you there.

Tracy, I love that frame! The stitching and ribbon tabs are perfect accents; you might just find me casing that someday! Have a blessed day! {{{hugs}}}!
I love what you did with little Odette! No lack of Mojo here! Adorable treatment to the butterflies and the use of that rosette trim. I've had some for a year and just can't seem to figure out how to use it on a card.
Gorgeous card, Tracy! Love the soft colors and papers and beautiful details! Wonderful job coloring sweet little Odette!
This is gorgeous Tracy. I love the sweet image, you have coloured her beautifully and the detailing is wonderful

I think she's darling, and you chose the perfect papers and embellies to show her off! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at the Simon Says Stamp challenge this week!
what a sweet card thanks for sharing with us at fbw love the butterfly accents.
Well geesh girl! If this is what you come up with when your craft mojo has left you then I'm at a loss for words. This is soooo cute & adorable! And SWEET! That was the first word that came to mind when I saw it. This image is so adorable & you colored her beautifully.
I love every little detail......from the crackle finishes to the embroidery floss wrapped around the frame to the sweet little ribbon tabs. ADORABLE-NESS to the MAX!
I hope you pull out of your funk. I just don't know how you create so much week after week. Each card is a treat for the eyes & I appreciate you sharing so much. (I guess I wasn't "at a loss for words" after all......LOL)
Huggies & Sweet Blessings to you ~

No, I'm totally not up to par! LOL..You can't believe how relieved I was to read someone else was in the same boat. Not that I'd want you there, but sometimes, misery does love company..Hahaha! Think it might be the weather? My head feels like someone is using it for a bongo drum. If I see your mojo or you mine, pinky promise to send it back where it belongs. Your card is precious Tracy...looking at her makes me want to squeeze my kids!
hugs to you and hope you enjoy your weekend.

Hi tracy, sorry you are down in the dumps :( when that Mojo goes AWOL its certainly difficult to find it. I don't really feel I have found mine still.

All the crackle and inking is beautiful.
Sending you Hugs xxxx Mau

She is so sweet. Another amazing card my friend.
Hugs~
So beautiful and so very sweet, Tracy! Love every little detail...especially the rose trim under your image!!
This came out beautiful, Tracy! I totally get how youre feeling though. Ive stepped down from all my teams but one and I still cant seem to get my act together. Just not FEELING it; and when you don't FEEL it you cant "make it happen". At least I cant.Its a little frightening, especially if you have commitments.. I have to say when I see all the work youre having to churn out I feel a little anxious for you, cos Ive been there, done that and at the time youre having so much fun you think it will never end and then one morning you wake up and *poof* mojo is gone. And there you sit nursing a pile of deadlines and a stack of paper with not a single idea in your head wondering where and when it all flew away...
Sorry to get sidetracked...I guess you can tel I'm in the same boat but perhaps I'm sitting a little lower in the water than you lol, sorry if Im being depressing.
your card is stunning, your coloring just gets beyond perfection.Well done, gf!!
Just a great card. Your coloring is wonderful.
Thanks so much for joining us at Whimsy's. Hope to see you again next month. joann sassy raggedy
WOWW this is absolutely stunning, wow, that is one cute image the design is amazing and so very beautiful, thank you for joining our challenge at The Paper Shelter this week

Beautiful Tracy, glad you got your Mojo back to color and create your card with Odette, she is gorgeous. Love it :)
Wow Tracy, your talent is so great that you your feeling down card is still as gorgeous as can be. I love your coloring and all the details you add to your card. By the way I may have to case the idea of stitching ribbon and adding it as tabs. I love this card..its a keeper.

OMG, you are not only very creative but also quite prolific...lol. I had to scroll down for ages to get to Mo's card. Not that I mind that. All your latest creations are truly adorable:)
No idea why you are not happy with this lovely ballerina. I think it turned out just beautiful and the way you created that frame and corners looks just perfect to me.
Oh, and I love that bow:)
